Imphal, December 29 2022:
A lecture programme on drug abuse and its effect on progressive society was organised at H Khunou and Sondoi villages on Wednesday by Khuga Battalion of Assam Rifles.
According to PRO IGAR, the speakers cautioned that drug addiction is emerging as a serious concern in the country, especially among the younger generation leading to dangerous consequences.
Time and again various studies have highlighted the perils of substance abuse.
It was discussed that substance abuse entraps a person in a vicious cycle that not only destroys the user but their whole family, society and eventually the country.
The user themselves, their family, friends, society, government, law, all must come together to eradicate substance use, they said.
In a release, the PRO informed that Khuga Battalion took the initiative to spread the message of Nasha Mukt Bharat for a healthy and drug free nation.
The said event focussed on need to insulate youth from drug menace and engage them in socially productive work.
It witnessed a healthy participation by villagers including youth.
Pamphlets were also distributed to the participants as part of the programme, said the release.
